Atmosfär Test Chambers Atmosfär chambers have been specifically designed for fully automatic testing Such tests include: in accordance with highly demanding laboratory-accelerated corrosion tests which have become increasingly popular in some sectors of the automotive industry. These tests are cyclic in nature and comprise of exposure under controlled and varying conditions of temperature and humidity, with intermittent spraying of a salt solution directly on to the samples under test, from a high level swaying spray bar. For added flexibility, Atmosfär chambers also retain the ability to...
